There was no recall for the update. It gets pushed now to everybody.

UPDATE: The new software for ATRIX 4G with MOTOBLUR is now available for download by all owners. Please go to Menu > Settings > About phone > System update to get it. Please make sure you phone is fully charged. Enjoy!
[Atrix 4G General] MaluNoPeleke:
How can I install the OTA update to my SBF 1.5.2 Atrix without flashing 1.2.6 first?

When I rename the zip file to update.zip and put it to /sdcard it doesn't work in Recovery mode.

Thanks for help!
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
You can't fox something that isn't broken.
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
someone leak the update when they can ;)
[Atrix 4G General] xfinrodx:
Thanks for the update! Hopefully I'll sneak into the test group, and hopefully they'll give me warning enough to flash back to stock beforehand... :-)
[Atrix 4G General] Namuh:
Motorola, unlock the bootloader and we will make you the champion of Android phones!
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Not going to happen. they have already clarified that this "update" will not have any changes to the bootloader
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Yeah, but when some dumbass flashes it and it bricks their phone all hell will break loose. Update'll get pulled, etc.

Leak it but be very clear it's dev use only (so they can find a new root path if necessary).
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
It actually sounds like the beta files will be tied to individual phones - Mark (forum manager) stated that people have complained in the past when they haven't filled in their information correctly or had non-Motorola software installed. It's possible that the beta installer does an IMEI check to prevent proliferation of the beta software outside of the tester community (to say nothing of that possibility of bricking phones I said earlier).
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
Probably is a fix that fix the no data after wifi
[Atrix 4G General] Mustang302LX:
I signed up but I won't load it if I get selected now that I think of what would happen. No root no goodness and stuck with MotoBlur with a still locked bootloader. I did make a comment about that on the forum though not that it will do anything but I feel a tiny tiny bit better lol.
[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
Would be funny if they were testing whatever changes came in SBF 1.5.2
[Atrix 4G General] Mustang302LX:
So a broken market and WiFi issues? lol Wouldn't put it past them.
[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
Lol. Hopefully a version newer than 1.5.2 with those things and then some fixed. Honestly I don't have a clue if this update will change the build number or not.
[Atrix 4G General] Mustang302LX:
Engadget reported Motorola is working on voice quality issues with the Atrix so I bet it will address that and minor other bugs. Probably nothing good enough to lose root over.
[Atrix 4G General] groaner:
Now how long is Bell and Motorola going to take to follow suit?
[Atrix 4G General] leorexz:
Any chance that we get a fix for the touch bug in this uptade?
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
too bad it wasnt
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
Saw this on engaget lol

"i believe mark in the moto forum told everyone in the forums what was wrong but the comment has now been removed. Apparently it is a hardware problem. Post #189 "Removed by forums managers. This is an unprecedented action for us, but these are special circumstances. Information was posted here that has not been confirmed and should not have been shared. I fully realize that "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" but in this case I'm going to try. I'm requesting that you do not repost it here. (I'd actually prefer that you don't repost it anywhere.) Mark and I will follow up as soon as we can after we look into this information. Sorry for this break with our general operations.'"
[Atrix 4G General] darklipslide:
Maybe the updates are for the reception issue? It's been bothering the heck out of me
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Someone has mentioned the 1080p capability which seems more plausible.
[Atrix 4G General] iceman4357:
I really hope I get choosen, so I can voice all of our issues with the phone. The 1080p capability is small, at least to me, when you look at the issues with motoblur, voice quality, HSUPA(which is AT&T driven), ect.

I will say that I am impressed with the amount of communication from Moto verses Samsung for my Captivate. At least Moto is open to hear everyones voice and is trying to work with us a little.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Well, it has already been mentioned that HSUPA, voice quality, and bootloader issues will NOT be addressed with this update. Also, it is more of a "test run" for the update rather than a traditional feedback session so I hope no one is getting their hopes up too much, not at this point anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Me too. I had 5 Android phones most of them from HTC, 1 Samsung and two of them were Google experience devices. Google, HTC or Samsung are really bad in communicating with the end-user it happens rarely or not at all. Motorola admits that there are bugs and that they fix it and that quite fast. The phone is just for 1 month on the market...
[Atrix 4G General] dwd3885:
I don't think Moto can update the Atrix to enable HSUPA. That needs to come from AT&T.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Right, correct, exactomundo
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
i feel like Charlie hoping for that golden wonker wrapper
[Atrix 4G General] jimhlt:
Someone needs to repost the infomation Mark posted on the Motorola site and then removed, on the voice problems. I would have had it in an email, but I turned off email notification yesterday on that thread. Darn it.
[Atrix 4G General] guidojusto:
I got every email from that thread on my inbox, tell me some keywords so i can search for that post and bring it here.
[Atrix 4G General] MKVFTW:

[Atrix 4G General] jimhlt:
Mark,

I believe it was post #188.
[Atrix 4G General] guidojusto:
I've already checked every mail, but I will make it again... No findings until now :S.

The only post related to voice problems by Mark is the following:

@sajonf

Regrettably the fixes provided in this update do not include voice quality

fixes you are expecting. We are working on that for a future update. Opting

not to delay this update to include those fixes was a tough decision.

[Atrix 4G General] jimhlt:
I checked again and it was actually post # 187. If starts with the string "Well, this is interesting".
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
the erased post was on the atrix voice quality thread not in the update thread. i don't have it but from what i have deducted, motorola will fix it in the end of may.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Kinda interesting, I thought my call quality/reception was awesome compaired to my captivate......
[Atrix 4G General] bumoftheday31:
It's the people on the other end having the problem...
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Yay guys, i replied 1 post there and now i keep getting spammed on my email with other replies eventho i turnes off all email notifications on that forum. If they cant even fix that forum how will thwy fix a phone...
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
it's a problem between your keyboard and your chair.

go into the thread and on the right part disable notifications for that thread
[Atrix 4G General] IT Rider:
I inquired to my enterprise rep about the network speed performance. They got me in contact with regional "mobility applications consultant" for AT&T. Here is the response to my performance concern.

I removed most of the email, but the important line they conveyed to me is

"We’re excited to announce that both the ATRIX 4G and Inspire 4G are expected to receive software updates in April."

As we know with AT&T and updates, what is said and what actually happens can be two different things. At least this is something.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
When you're in that discussion if you look over to the right you will see a section called "Things you can do!". Just click where it says stop receiving email notifications.
[Atrix 4G General] mister_al:
Assuming you get picked for this... I believe it's been said that using Adeo will not allow an update, is that correct? What about having been rooted?
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
just flash the retail sbf that you can get here on the forums and your fine.

on a second note, did anyone get an email yet? on their forum it says they have 1000 testers and they will start getting mails after being picked, so i didnt get a mail yet and im wondering if anyone else here got it already?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
No email yet. I registered 15 minutes after it was announced too. They still haven't listed the release notes yet either. If they keep this crap up I'm just going to return the phone. It should not take this long to get the information out to people. They should have been ready to get the ball rolling immediately but I have a feeling it's going to take a while and that's just for the "pre-release". I wonder if they understand that we're doing them a favor by being their guinea pigs?
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
we have just reached 1000 beta testers. that means MAYBE later today we will get emails if we were accepted and MAYBE post the release notes.

Everyone that gets the email, please post it here minus the private parts.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The original post in that thread said "A list of enhancements

will

be provided when the registration closes". Is it too much to ask they post a simple statement?

I know I'm probably being too impatient about this but why do things like this, regardless of phone or carrier, move at glacial speeds? This is a limited roll-out to 1,000 people. I say lets get this going, why wait?
[Atrix 4G General] MKVFTW:
Hopefully it will included HSUPA ala HTC

http://androidandme.com/2011/03/pho...are-update-to-enable-hsupa-on-the-inspire-4g/
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Nope. They have already said that this update will NOT include the HSUPA fix. That has to be done by AT&T and since the request hasn't been processed through the FCC yet then it seems we will be waiting at least little longer than Inspire owners...
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
They say to check back later for the release notes:
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The release notes are now available. It seems this will be a very insignificant update for many people

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47575?tstart=0
[Atrix 4G General] darklipslide:
lame. I was hoping for data connectivity issue fixes, which I have heard that they are at least recognizing and investigating it at this point
[Atrix 4G General] guidojusto:
Although I think it is a very nice start for Motorola, at least on this device, anxiously waiting for HSUPA later on April.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The worst part is it is still a pre-release. Who knows when it will be available to the general public. So we're looking at at least a month and a half for the 1st "fix", I can hardly consider this an update. Now we still have to sit on our hands for voice quality, HSUPA, Gingerbread, etc.

Gingerbread is interesting because they said it would be available by the end of 2011 which technically means they could hold off to December 31st and who knows if there will be any "delays".
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
im sad that there is no wifi improvement =/ uhm and the release notes page gives instructions how to install aswell, so i guess those who were picked got the updates already.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
What's wrong with the wifi?
[Atrix 4G General] iceman4357:
I disagree. Although it doesnt address a few of the issues we discuss on here, I am still impressed at how fast they are working to try and make the phone better. This phone has only been out 1 month and they have been working on updates, and have great/open communication with their end users. I have faith that they will continue to work on making the phone better. Although these smaller updates dont give us HSUPA, or an unlocked bootloader, I would prefer these smaller updates that address "insignificant" issues a month at a time instead of Samsung who has horrible communication and pushes everything off.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
well i (and quite many others) have this nonworking wifi after simunlocking the device and using a nonATT sim card ...
[Atrix 4G General] justdrew:
it probably wont fix that because its an at&t sw release, maybe fixed on the intl atrix
[Atrix 4G General] link12245:
Hopefully the update will fix low volume on car dock. Procrastinated too long to return it, so now it's just a hunk of plastic.

When anyone gets the email, could you post on here. Don't want to be waiting all night if I'm not in. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
These problems probably wouldn't have existed if they didn't try to push out the phone to market in head of the Thunderbolt. And I meant "insignificant" because most people are looking for the uncapped HSUPA, bootloader unlock, and Gingerbread. I wasn't saying that the improvements themselves were insignificant
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
And quit trying to put Motorola up on a pedestal
[Atrix 4G General] iceman4357:
Correct me if I am wrong, but HSUPA is capped because AT&T tells the manufacturers to do so. Just like the Captivate that had a capped upload speed, or any other AT&T device other than the Iphone. I think the HSUPA argument should be aimed at AT&T.

I am not putting Moto up, but when you look at how they are verses other manufacturers they are much better in my opinion.

What I dont understand is if you knew all these things about the Atrix, why did you even buy it? To my knowledge there is really only one phone that is truely open source: Nexus S. If the Atrix really bugs you that much, why dont you return it and get the Nexus S?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Correct. The HSUPA problem is AT&T's fault. I never said otherwise. I was speaking of other people's expectations.

But you keep praising them while at the same time bashing Samsung. Not everyone's experiences are the same with any company.

To be honest, I was a little unaware of the severity of the bootloader situation which I can admit is my fault for not doing the proper research. And I actually plan on buying the Nexus S, with Sprint. I am so unhappy with Moto and AT&T I am willing to pay the outrageous ETF just to get away.
[Atrix 4G General] catfarm:
I just got an email accepting me into the program! yay! No actual update yet but it sounds like it is coming within the next 24 hours.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I just received my e-mail that I was accepted for the test update!

Typical NDA language included in the e-mail. I won't be copying the e-mail here. Check your inboxes folks!

Keep in mind that if you install the update you will PROBABLY LOSE ROOT ACCESS!
[Atrix 4G General] iceman4357:
I was accepted as well!
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
accepted as well!
[Atrix 4G General] guidojusto:
I was accepted by Motorola. No links for updates so far in the email.
[Atrix 4G General] link12245:
Just got my acceptance. Per NDA can't copy and paste, but it's basically saying that we should see the update soon.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Yes me to im waiting yesssss
[Atrix 4G General] fmora176:
I got the email as well, not sure whether I'll do it or not as my phone is rooted. I guess I'll wait to see how others with rooted phones fare.
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
Got the email... flashing back to retail sbf after I do a full TiBu backup.

I can live with stock MotoBlur for a few days.

Crossing fingers its a good update.

And chances are psneuter probably will still work. Everyone get alogcat ready. Gonna need those update logs!
[Atrix 4G General] rpolansky:
I was accepted too, now my noob questions:

1) I have the desktop mod so I assume I need to put the 6 oem files back

2) I have the hulu flashplayer mod but I assume I don't have to put the .so back to stock

3) I have launcher pro will this cause a problem

4) do I have to unroot for the update to work? If so what happens to all the software I bought (titanium/root explorer etc.)?

Sorry for the dumb xxx questions.... :)

[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Just worring if i can update directly from GingerBlur, I would think i can since it would be like a OTA completely new ROM flash right?

Update to patch hacks?

So is it a patch for the hacks we´ve done or does it bring something good also?

have you tried rooting it yet again with the update?

I got my invite as well but no way are the fixes worth losing root plus my mods over. I'm not going to post what the updates are but I'm just saying I find it to not be worth it.

1080P by any chance?

Exactly that. The first time i tried the phone bugged at 10-11 seconds, second time i tried the bug was not there anymore. Tried at least 10 times.

There is no option to record video in 1080p, still being 720p. Now i will connect to the LCD and tell the output.

I installed the update on a rooted device. Lost root. Tried aRoot and it did not work. Tried SuperOneClick and it did not work either. I'll try this for a while but will probably flash back to stock so I can have root access.

Im sure Devs are on it.

Touch screen seems better responsive to me, maybe is because to the excitement, but at least i fell it better.

As i did not have any kind of issues with fingerprint i cannot tell anything about this.

Battery, well... Let me some time with the update to tell.

Now the screen turns off automatically when the phone is being charged.
